Number 8 - Finding Mabel (Ch 1, Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4) by @pinessap

This story is a first-time effort from this author. And I’ve got to say it’s amazing!

This is a Dipper point-of-view story. Mabel has been acting strangely, and her brother is alarmed to discover hints of the supernatural at work. The story follows Dipper’s efforts to find the secrets of what is behind Mabel’s changed personality. He enlists the help of a new friend, and they uncover answers that change everything.

More than any other this year, this fic felt like a Pinecest extension of the television series into the lives of the Pines twins later into their teenage years. It’s not just that there is a mystery that needs to be solved. It’s not just that forbidden feelings are explored and revealed. It’s not just that there is legitimately creepy suspense and thrilling action. It’s that all of this is intertwined into a single, cohesive whole that is just a joy to read. It even has a cliffhanger. Literally! 

Sappy, this is just a phenomenal piece of work. Thank you for giving this to us, and I really hope that you grace us with more someday. You are a credit to the fandom!

http://archiveofourown.org/works/4423742/chapters/11668471 Here it is. The chapter I literally pulled out of my ass- I mean- thin air. I have no idea how I got this done, much less in less than two weeks, but have this monster of a chapter. Chapter 5 of Finding Mabel, still from Dipper's point of view; ie you still have no idea what happened to Mabel. Enjoy.

We're over halfway done with our first day here in Argentina, and already laying down our second update on Tumblr.  I don't think we'll have this much freedom to write every day, but seeing as how today was a day for planning and getting settled, we've got the time...  And we had quite the jolt from reality while we were eating lunch today.

Sitting inside a cafe, we noticed that a lot of the customers were looking up at the TV.  There was some sort of all-day news program on (not unlike CNN) with a scrolling bar running along the bottom.  To our surprise, there's a trial going on right now for the Trelew Massacre, a horrific and retaliatory killing of sixteen prisoners that was brushed aside under the guise of an alleged escape attempt.

The Trelew Massacre occurred on August 22, 1972 and predates the period officially recognized as "The Dirty War," but it was one of many early efforts by the military dictatorship to wipe out the brave revolutionairies who opposed them.  After a real prison breakout in which a small group of prisoners escaped to Chile via plane, the rest submitted to authorities.  In the quest for revenge, the military ordered the remaining, unarmed prisoners to simulate a new escape attempt so they could justify what they did next - they shot them down, killing sixteen and injuring three.  The three survivors lived long enough to tell their story, but were later kidnapped and killed during "The Dirty War."

The fact that they're working on a trial TODAY speaks volumes about the ongoing quest for truth and justice in this country.   The news scroll had the eyes of everyone in the cafe, and everything we hope to accomplish with our film is still very fresh in the minds of many Argentinians.  The trial for The Trelew Massacre thrusts the focus of our project into the here and now, and makes Finding Mabel a very tangible undertaking.
